Reminder: No F Train to Manhattan This Weekend and Fare Increases

Just a reminder that there is NO subway service (F Train) directly from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan this weekend and that fare increases go into effect tomorrow March 2, 2008.

Additional information regarding "hoarding" of unlimited fare cards purchased prior to March 2, 2008 can be found at Second Avenue Sagas and on a poster the MTA has released on the issue.

Also the MTA has already announced next weekend we will as always be losing service in one direction. Next week no Queens bound service from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island. This announcement raises the tally to 8 weeks of service disruption out of a total of 10 weeks this year. Remember we got a break last weekend when they cancelled track work due to the snow.

I can’t even fathom how we will do this when the Tram is out. Red buses to Queensboro plaza I guess.
